Tapered headtube question
I am planning on buying this bike frame:
https://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...Pro+Frame.aspx
I currently have a fork with a standard 1 1/8" steer tube.
The bike comes with a headset, but am I correct in thinking I need this adaptor:
https://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/HS273A01-Cane+Creek+Lower+Headset.aspx
The $62 option?

That's correct. However, if you already have a spare 1⅛" headset that you like, you can get away with the $19 option:

Okay. I do have a good headset already.
So the frame comes with a headset in it though.
How does this all go together then?
